[jbosstools-dev] how to disable Eclipse UserValidationDialog?

[André Dietisheim]

Hi Snjezana

good point!
I already found out about this when looking at different Eclipse 
plugins. EGit does it, Scout and apparently ECF, too. Quite a mess to be 
honest: A bad API in the jdk UrlConnection, a poor implementation in 
org.eclipse.ui and here we are: plenty of plugins overriding the 
Authenticator with unpredictable results.

Cheers
André
